Had a nice storm, actually two of 'em blow through here Monday morning.
Winds between 90-122 mph. Was an interesting time.
Just got my power back on here about a half hour ago.

I got one of those same storms about half an hour before you.
Just got my power back at 6pm, this evening.
Here is the archived radar for July 11:

The two storms here go through between 8-11 am EDT.
You got the northern storm that I didn't. But that second one
blew through my yard at about 8:05 am CDT. Went from nearly a clear
blue sky to horizontal rain in about 7 minutes, with 75+mph winds.
And then it was over in less than 10 minutes. There are still some
areas of Lake County without power. Waukegan took the worst of it,
before the storm took out across the Lake.
That 90 miles was crossed in less than 45 minutes, according to
reports I heard that day. And that red hook echo on the radar was
the definitive evidence of a tornadic storm. We had reports in my
neighborhood of a funnel, but no touch down. And WBBM reported that
a funnel was seem crossing the airspace over the lake.
The storm took down trees three feet in diameter in my
neighborhood. Two of them are still down across powerlines, and some
roads are still closed.
Again, as so many times in the past, my house was spared any
damage. Though I did have a few branches from other properties to
clean up in the yard. Any serious damage where you are?
Lots of trees down in the downtown area. Had a report of a waterspout out on Lake Macatawa just to the north of me, though I'm not sure which storm it was with.
Had severe damage to the 138 kv line running near the power plant, and still have some streets closed downtown as of last evening.
I was one of the "isolated outages" out here, as I had the drop broken along with the phone line from the pole to the house.
We've got extra repair crews here from various areas including Indiana. The crew that repaired my line was from Hillsdale, MI.
